Unfortunately, relfilenodes 68950 and 68122 don't exist anymore, could be that 
they were temporary copies of tables or indexes. I know that process 15865 was 
the autovacuum pid, I looked that up when it happened (pg was restarted with 
autovacuum=off afterwards, so that process is also gone)

Could it be that the deadlock was caused by autovacuum trying to vacuum one of 
the temp copies?

Hmph.  Looking at the code, that should always lock the table first,
so I don't see where the problem is.  Would you look up the numbers
for us --- exactly which relations were involved in the deadlock,
and (if you can tell) which process was which?

Also, what PG version is this exactly?
